Brookland is a village and civil parish in the Folkestone and Hythe district of Kent, England, about 5 miles (8 km) west of New Romney.

Popular myth is that the steeple looked down at a wedding service to see such a beautiful bride marrying such an unpleasant groom that it jumped off the church in shock[citation needed].

A more popular story is that one day a virgin presented herself to be married and the church spire fell off at the unusual occurrence[citation needed].

[2] As late as 1970 the village had a post office, five shops - including Coleman's, a butcher well known locally for his pork sausages - a tea room, a garage, blacksmith, abattoir, a vicar and three pubs.

The Alliance and Royal Oak pubs have closed; the Woolpack Inn continues to operate 1 mile (1.6 km) south of the village.
